The principles cite laudable concerns.  Hence, they SEEM better than 
anything else, until one tries to do something practical with them.

They lack any sort of means to be operationalized.  Hence they will 
primarily serve as another platform for contention, with objectors to an 
action hauling out the principles, claiming non-conformance.
